The Funky Monkey
Oct. 12th, 2004 08:57 pmIn which our heroine muses about golf, booze and buffalo
I’m still on my hometown visit. I’ll be back late Wednesday, at which time I will attempt to get caught up my friends list. I’m looking forward to it. Be warned: the following story is even more long-winded and nonsensical than usual.
Rarely does a week go by in my hometown without a golf tournament of some sort during the summer. They are usually fundraisers, and often held in the memory of an avid golfer (we have one for the Dipper, my stepfather’s ex-stepfather (long story) that raises money for the Cancer Society).
The Funky Monkey is a tournament with no such lofty goals. It is, to be frank, one big piss up. It is held every Thanksgiving (Canadian) weekend and was started by an old friend of mine. You are permitted an iron and a putter only, and you have to draw for the iron. The foursomes are also selected at random. The tourney attracts a fascinating mix of people. This year the participants ranged in age from 20ish to 70ish.
Damn it’s fun.( Read more... )
